try this

<xsl:param name="p1" select="p1"/>

this would be outside any templates, acting somewhat like a global variable

yes then to use the contents of this you could use this inside a template 

<xsl:value-of select="$p1"/>

    Consider to post a sample of the XML you have, we would really need to see some context to help you with the specific code. You could try `...` if you want a for-each to process all `Row` elements having a child element of the name the parameter `p1` has and where the value of that element is 'OK'. If that does not help then please add a sample of your XML input in your question. – Martin Honnen Dec 01 '10 at 11:26
